God Bless Us, Every One

Yes, I know, the photos are a bit dark. That's because it was night. In the middle of a wood.

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas in Leeds without David Robertson (second from left) and Theatre of the Dales performing David's adaptation of A Christmas Carol.

Last night it was in Dagmar, a patch of woodland in Headingley, Leeds: the same venue where a huge crowd came to see Theatre of the Dales perform The Tempest and A Winter's Tale last summer.


Last night - in stark contrast to the warm sunshine of the summer performances - it was freezing cold: there was a huge bonfire: there was mulled wine: there was carol-singing afterwards.

More than a hundred people came, which I think is rather amazing considering the weather. Judging by the applause, they loved it. Here are some of them:

It looked like a convivial evening. Christmas never feels like Christmas until you've done some carols (I've done none yet). My first (and last) are likely to be at midnight mass tomorrow evening.
